The young African scored 19 goals in 82 league matches at Chievo, including helping them to the Serie B title in 2007/08.
Internazionale moved to secure Obinna's services in summer 2008 and he went on to make nine Serie A appearances in his first season at San Siro, scoring in a 4-0 victory over AS Roma as the Nerazzurri won the title for a third consecutive season.
At international level, the speedy forward first caught the eye at the 2006 CAF Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, scoring in the quarter-final victory over Tunisia.
Two years later, Obinna captained the Super Eagles to the final of the Olympic football tournament in Beijing, scoring three times as Nigeria defeated Japan, United States, Ivory Coast and Belgium on course to winning the Silver Medal.
After scoring four times in helping Nigeria to qualify for the 2010 World Cup, Obinna appeared at his third Africa Cup of Nations tournament in January, scoring the winner in his country's 1-0 third-place play-off victory over Algeria.
This summer, the 23-year-old appeared twice at the World Cup, starting the 1-0 group-stage defeat by Argentina in Johannesburg. His loan to West Ham includes the option of a permanent transfer next summer.
